Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'The EUGENE project aims at improving cooperation among European institutions acive in the domain of Earth observations and intensifying the coordination of contributions from national and European programmes to building GEOSS. EUGENE will initiate a process that should lead to a more coordinated planning and acting of the relevant European actors in the future. Specifically, the project will analyze the status quo in the European Earth observation for three of the nine GEO Societal Benefit Areas (SBA), namely disasters, water, and climate. For each of these SBA a report will be prepared to describe the current situation in Europe, including the main initiatives and activities. The main actors will be engaged for preparing these reports. Three thematic workshops will be organized on the basis of these reports. They will discuss potential activities for improvement and develop recommendations for a targeted, strategic participation of Europe in building GEOSS. The project results are aimed at supporting the European Commission and other European GEO Members and GEO Participating Organizations in their participation in GEO. The project will also be active in preparing the European positions for the 2010 GEO Summit.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
Researchers have contributed to the establishment of a network for Earth Observation (EO) in Europe, bringing together capacities for the sustainable management of natural resources and enhancing European contributions to GEO.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
European scientists are playing a leading role in the emerging field of EO technologies. Their innovations are relevant to issues of environmental management, energy, disaster management, sustainable development aid and climate change.
The main goal of the intergovernmental Group on Earth Observations (GEO) is to build a truly international Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) to the benefit of global societies. The EU-funded support action EUGENE brought together European experts working in this area to improve collaboration and maximise their input into the international system. The two-year project strengthened the coordination among national and regional programmes on in situ and space-based earth observation and modelling techniques.
Focusing on the specific areas of climate, water and disaster management, the project looked at a number of questions. These included how to improve the systems architecture when pooling research infrastructure; how to promote data sharing to ensure informed decision making in a timely manner; and how to ensure the integration of technological innovations across a network.
A comprehensive European GEO strategy was developed to strengthen links between relevant European research and operational programmes, such as weather forecasting and spatial information services.
International coordination for EO can benefit all societies by gaining an overview on global issues such as climate change and depleting natural resources. By ensuring Europe's efforts in this field, such as the major earth observation programme "Copernicus", are coordinated with GEO/GEOSS, EUGENE will help build an effective international observation system, which will also benefit Europe itself.
